In Mexico, society is characterized by hierarchical relationships where authority is respected and decision-making often follows a vertical structure. Social etiquette dictates that certain flowers are avoided due to their negative connotations, while bringing gifts like flowers or sweets is customary when visiting homes. Additionally, business meetings may lack formal structure and can be postponed unexpectedly.
